WS Educational Workshops
Be sure to join in on these interactive and educational workshops held on Wednesday and Thursday. Each session
focuses on a relevant industry topic such as innovative approaches to the development, design and construction
process; the war for talent; successfully adding food and beverages to retail projects: creating retail in a mixed-use
setting; how retailers and developers continue to enhance the shopping experience; the convergence of e-commerce
with bricks-and-mortar; exciting new tenants in the mall landscape; successful approaches for repurposing vacant
tenants and an in-depth discussion on urban grocery stores. The workshops will include both presentation and group
discussions to maximize your opportunities to connect, create, and inspire.
Workshop 1 | Grand Canyon 1-3
War for Talent
Free food, shuttle, stock options, and a resort-like office are just a few perks used nowadays to attract talent.
Consequently, an increase in the recruiting budget is inevitable. How much value do we place on securing the best
personal and professional traits in our employees? How can we keep the right talent behind our doors in the fast-paced
and tech-evolving real estate landscape? This moderated panel discussion will incorporate the different viewpoints of a
developer, contractor, architect, and talent acquisition manager. They will discuss how to maintain a competitive advantage
through innovation with the right human capital, how diversity can boost a think-outside-the-box outlook, and what kind of
impact the new generation’s attitude could have on the real estate market across the U.S. in the coming decade.

F&B: Its Evolving Role in Retail
Consumer attitudes and behaviors on dining have changed tremendously over the past decade. This shift in restaurant
expansion as part of shopping centers is due to the high demand from consumers for better food options. In March of
last year, for the first time since 1992, people in the U.S. spent more money on dining out than they did on groceries.
People are not only interested in healthy dining; they’re also willing to pay more for sustainable, organic, and natural
foods. Developers and designers are responding with new concepts that treat food as a critical anchor in retail
environments. Our panel will discuss food trends impacting our industry and how to effectively apply them to your
shopping center.

It’s All in the Mix
Mixed-use development is becoming increasingly sophisticated and successful in the U.S. More complicated than ever,
it often involves adaptive re-use of older buildings. Urban trail systems can become a critical traffic generator. Grocery
stores serve as daily needs anchors that attract residential development. Some are removing roofs to transform
interior malls to outdoor streets. The mall of tomorrow won’t be a mall at all, but a mixed-use community hub that
serves as a catalyst for urban regeneration. Learn how the mixed-use typology is evolving and how to successfully
create an energetic and thriving destination for consumers.

The Mall of the Future is an Experience Hub
Permanent, programmed, and rotating experiences will be at the heart of the Mall of the Future. Malls will become
experience-rich destinations as consumers continue to place as much emphasis on collecting experiences as they
do on buying stuff. As our phones take on more of the functional aspect of comparing and purchasing products,
the mall must adapt to showcase experiences that trump convenience. Developers are experimenting with ways to
integrate pop-up retailing into their shopping centers to provide a changing, fresh offering that lures customers back
to see what’s new. Listen to our panel discuss how the future of the mall is at the intersection of user experience +
technology + design.

Who’s Responsible for Green?
“Green” is en vogue and it’s becoming increasingly rewarding for both landlords and retailers. Which of these parties
is leading the pack and how are they doing it? Why are the laggards lagging and what should they know that might
encourage them to be more proactive? What is the “greening” of retail doing to improve returns and what methods
have room for improvement before being embraced by the masses?

A number of factors influence retail center location and continuing operations, many of which are not well understood.
This panel of world-class experts explores trends in the areas of housing, retail consumer preferences, and the
initiation of driverless cars that will influence new and existing retail. Understanding that retail follows rooftops, Ivy
Zelman, the highly acclaimed Wall Street housing analyst lauded The Big Short, discusses the latest trends in singlefamily and multi-family residential markets. Using cutting edge analysis, Alan McKeon will explore spending habits,
retailer locational decisions, and changes as to how they operate. Wes Guckert examines the potential impacts of
driverless cars on retail center parking and access, as well as how they may affect roads in general.

High Street Retail - How Uniqlo Converted Existing Space into its Chicago Flagship
It’s challenging enough to successfully open a large-use retailer in an existing building on a historic street on the
ground and second floors. Try the 4th-6th floors! This case study will explore Uniqlo’s Chicago flagship on Michigan
Avenue and the challenges and solutions for accomplishing the almost impossible. Not only did the project require a
major reconfiguration to move people, the impact of high-rise building codes brought its own set of obstacles. See what
it took to marshal the concept to fruition and learn how the team engaged the mayor, local alderman and the Michigan
Avenue Design Commission.

Domain Northside: A New Approach to Mixed-Use Development
Developing a mixed-use project can be a gratifying experience when the team is able to fully activate spaces according
to use and lifestyle habits. Domain Northside includes 600,000 square feet of retail, 250,000 square feet of office
space, 563 multifamily residences, and a 171 key Archer Hotel. Within the retail configuration is a new RH Art Gallery
and Rock Rose, an entertainment district. This case study will explore the complexities of combining so many uses that
are distinctively different and appeal to different segments of the population. It is significant to note that the project is
not within the city’s urban core, yet it accentuates the market’s openness to having a truly unique 24-7 experience that
brings together world-class retailers, emerging brands, and the most sought-after local retailers.

It’s Not Always Paradise: A Retailer’s Perspective on Constructing New Department Stores at Ala Moana Mall
Coordinating the design and construction of department stores can be challenging, even in the best of situations.
In this case study we will explore what it takes to effectively relocate one department store, Nordstrom, to a new
space in the mall while delivering an entirely new store, Bloomingdale’s, to the market and the mall. If accessibility
to construction materials and labor wasn’t enough of a challenge, the team also dealt with a severely confined
construction site that was further constrained by the construction of a residential tower between the two buildings.
And did we mention that the buildings were being built on a podium over existing retail?

Renaissance – The Story of the Westfield World Trade Center
It’s a big enough challenge to develop the typical retail site, but when the site is what was once the World Trade
Center, the task would seem almost insurmountable. This session explores the many unusual components of the
Westfield World Trade Center Project: the site’s pre and post 9/11 history, the extraordinary variety of stakeholders,
and the sheer weight of the area’s solemnity. Participants in this case study will catch a glimpse of the vast masstransit system that connected to the site, view the poetic retail space that has since been created, and become more
acquainted with the uncountable number of hurdles presented before and after 9/11. This truly iconic development
required intense focus by a number of individuals, companies, design firms, and government agencies. Its recent
opening demonstrates that you can sensitively design a project that speaks to a local vernacular without sacrificing
goals, space, or design trends. This project embraces the challenges of creating a dynamic and vital piece of the city
that will also function as a solemn memorial to those lost fifteen years prior.

Foothills Mall Redevelopment - A Public Private Partnership Success
Redevelopment projects often occur when a public/private partnership is established. More often than not, the
driving force behind such innovative programs is a significant need within the market to bolster future development
by elevating an existing redevelopment opportunity. Such was the case of the Foothills Mall. When mall owners
recognized that their mall was losing appeal, they partnered with the city of Fort Collins to embark on re-positioning
and expanding the mall. The goal was to transform Foothills Mall into a central place for residents to not only shop,
but also participate in civic and outdoor activities including concerts, dining venues, fairs, and the like. The project
team developed innovative design responses by using native materials, increasing natural light, designing open-air
spaces, and incorporating low-energy lighting. Other major challenges included water quality, drainage, infrastructure
improvements, and ultimately, the acquisition of real property within and around the site to finalize the comprehensive
redevelopment. The team will share lessons learned from addressing a blighted underperforming asset, incorporating
sustainability and environmental concerns, and providing a vibrant, indoor/outdoor mixed-use destination.

It Took an Act of Congress: The Redevelopment of Broadway Plaza
Arguably, the most challenging of projects are those that involve multiple jurisdictions within local, state, and federal
government while building consensus with the development team’s vision. In this case study you will go behind the
scenes for an in-depth look at what it took to expand a Macy’s department store, demolish nearly 160,000 square
feet of obsolete space, add over 308,000 square feet of new retail space, and develop a new 2523 car parking deck.
Central to the successful re-design was the decommissioning of one of two underground flood culverts controlled by
the Army Corps of Engineers. The ultimate sunset of the culvert required numerous public workshops and working
through a complex entitlement process. If this wasn’t enough, the developer, Macerich, sought to give retailers a
significant amount of autonomy in the design of their storefronts, which proved to be treacherous when the local
governing body sought approvals every step of the way. In some cases tenants had to seek advance approvals before
designs were completed or leases were executed. Compounding challenges for the project were a tight site, staying
open for existing merchants, and the construction across the open culvert.

Creating Emotional Connections with Shoppers
Retailing is evolving rapidly; omni-channel is finding a balance with brick and mortar. One constant that remains is for
retailers to create an emotional connection with shoppers to keep them coming back. We know that millennials value
experiences, but we also know that our boomer population will reach a point where they receive less and less joy from
material goods. At that point, they’ll make the shift to spending money on experiences. Consumer values are shifting
from just going somewhere because they need to purchase an item to going somewhere and expecting an experience
with their purchase. Learn how some of today’s most innovative retailers are connecting with consumers and selling
experiences.

Something is Different: Exciting New Tenants Change the Mall Landscape
As shopping center owners and developers seek to draw shoppers, differentiate their properties from competitors,
and repurpose vacant space, new and different types of tenants and uses are becoming novel additions to shopping
centers. Dining and entertainment of various types are commonly incorporated into the centers and bring with them
a host of challenges in designing, constructing space, and making deals. This session will explore the obstacles and
solutions that were part of transforming several alternative uses of space into successful center additions. ICSC CenterBuild Conference

The Urban Grocery Store
With the advent of increased urbanization in our downtowns, retail grocers and developers have responded to the
opportunity with “the urban grocery store.” Downtown markets are expanding in number and are increasingly more
complex and more expensive. This session explores the process of planning, designing, engineering, and building this
product type and how to operate them. The panel will also discuss how urban grocery stores fit into mixed-use projects
and the complexity of combining uses.

The Shoppes at Bel Air Mall: A Study in Placemaking
In this case study participants will learn firsthand that leaning on the tried and true formulaic process of retail design
is no longer a requirement for development. Rouse Properties and The Beck Group joined together to buck the retail
models when re-developing Bel Air Mall in Mobile, Alabama. Seeking to significantly impact the retail market with a
new and vibrant center, the design team was successful in reducing the net leasable area of the mall in exchange for
more energetic common areas which helped to increase customer’s interest and connection to the spaces within the
center. The design, while very simple, served to increase interest in the potential lease ability of the spaces, ultimately
resulting in a more vigorous environment that retailers found more appealing. The end result was a successful leasing
program that resulted in a completely new retail environment.

The Power of Design and How Demolition Paved the Way - Willows Shopping Center
Strip and Community Centers make up the vast majority of all retail space in the United States and present many
opportunities for improvement. Listen as the development team shares how they took an underperforming center with
a 40% occupancy rate, adjacent to one of the nation’s preeminent super-regional malls, and transformed it into a
fully leased center with an improved tenant mix and integration of memorable shopper experiences. The panelists will
describe the merchandising, architectural design, and landscaping that transformed the center into an honored and
award-winning combination of artisan restaurants and unique retailers (Gold Level ICSC U.S. Design and Development
Award, ICSC Global Design and Development Honoree).

Coloring Outside the Lines: The Crayola Experience
Finding creative uses for vacant department stores is becoming more and more prevalent in today’s changing retail
landscape. The Crayola Experience demonstrates that the process of successfully re-purposing a former department
store may demand that the lines be blurred and the colors go outside the proverbial lines. Transforming a nearly
60,000 square feet space into a collection of 25 attractions, party rooms, a theater, café, and retail store was
daunting to say the least. The conversion of a space this size into a complex myriad of uses comes with a unique
set of challenges: operational and building code impact on ingress and egress, fire control, wayfinding, the physical
challenges of appealing to both children and adults, and much more. You will also hear how the team addressed the
creative aspects of designing a space that would be appealing to all generations.

Renaissance – The Story of the Westfield World Trade Center
It’s a big enough challenge to develop the typical retail site, but when the site is what was once the World Trade
Center, the task would seem almost insurmountable. This session explores the many unusual components of the
Westfield World Trade Center Project: the site’s pre and post 9/11 history, the extraordinary variety of stakeholders,
and the sheer weight of the area’s solemnity. Participants in this case study will catch a glimpse of the vast masstransit system that connected to the site, view the poetic retail space that has since been created, and become more
acquainted with the uncountable number of hurdles presented before and after 9/11. This truly iconic development
required intense focus by a number of individuals, companies, design firms, and government agencies. Its recent
opening demonstrates that you can sensitively design a project that speaks to a local vernacular without sacrificing
goals, space, or design trends. This project embraces the challenges of creating a dynamic and vital piece of the city
that will also function as a solemn memorial to those lost fifteen years prior.

Walmart Hayden Meadows - How a Famous American Retailer Built the Nation’s Most Intensively
Monitored Eco-Roof
Sustainability is at the forefront of just about every development today. That effort comes in many forms. In this
case study, you will see first-hand how the largest retailer in America joined with a prestigious list of sustainability
champions to design, monitor, and ultimately promote the country’s largest eco-roof in Portland, Oregon. With 40,000
square feet of roof area, the objective of the Walmart Eco-Roof Project was to advance the scientific understanding of
eco-roof performance as it pertains to rainfall runoff management, energy conservation, and habitat creation. Learn
what is involved in the design of an eco-roof, how private businesses and educational institutions can partner for
positive results, and gain a greater understanding of how an eco-roof benefits developers, design professionals, and
the community.

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Developing a Unique Experiential Retailer That Will Make Your Hair Stand on End
Wondering what to do with larger vacant space? One solution is the new tenant iFly, an interactive, experiential retailer
that brings the skydiving experience to the local level….without an airplane. In this case study, participants will see
what it takes to re-create space for what most would describe as an unusual tenant. Proven to be a traffic generator,
more and more landlords are becoming interested in this and other retailers that engage the shopper to do more than
“shop” for goods and services. It’s not quite entertainment, but it’s close.

who look at their job by looking at life,
bringing with them a life of experiences to
base their craft on. It’s a fundamentally different way of
thinking. One that is the core of our culture. We are the
people who ask the really hard questions. Followed by the
painfully obvious ones. We talk, listen, observe, dig, dive,
and mine until we fully understand the intricacies of the
project. And then we do it all over again, but this time with
the sons and daughters, colleagues and friends who will be
experiencing the places we create. We immerse ourselves
into the life that everyday people will be leading, holding a
mirror to culture and taking detailed notes of the reactions.
We like to say it’s not what we know; it’s what we notice.
Somewhere, the most authentic expression of a project is
waiting to be discovered. All of this preparation, from the
trenches to the ten-thousand-foot view, culminates in one
idea. A story that people can’t help but connect with. One
common thread weaved seamlessly through the spaces we
create. We craft the spaces that people spend their days
and nights in. Spend their time and money in. Spend their
little wins and heartbreaking losses in. Give them a moment,
and they’ll give you their trust. It’s moments that matter.
Everything else is just design.
